Insufficient authorization is preventing the replacing or appending to
an existing file where the user has write authority on the file but not
its parent directory.

HFS checking in SAS assumes that a file being replaced or appended to
would be opened with UPDATE internal flag settings.  This is incorrect,
and SAS should really determine whether to check file permissions or
directory permissions based on whether or not the file exists.  This is
consistent with how the OE access() function works, and how the OE
open() function does its authorization checking.
